	PROJECT: DESIGN AND BUILD NEW STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE TWO 25 H.P. VARIABLE SPEED ADJUSTABLE VERTICAL MILLING HEADS. THE BASIC MACHINE WAS A 1960'S CINCINNATI HORIZONTAL PRODUCTION MILL. THE NEW HEADS ALLOWED THE MACHINE TO MACHINE TEN SURFACES AT ONE PASS THROUGH THE MACHINE. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDED FOR FOUR HYDRAULIC CLAMPED FIXTURES TO HOLD THE PARTS. NEW GUARDING WAS PROVIDED AS WELL AS ALL NEW ELECTRICS INCLUDING PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER AND A.C. VARIABLE DRIVES FOR THE 25 H.P. HEADS. THE TRAVEL ON THIS MACHINE IS 144 INCHES.

	PROJECT: EMERGENCY REPAIR OF A GIDDINGS AND LEWIS 5 INCH HORIZONTAL BORING MILL SADDLE AND TABLE THAT HAD SEIZED AND HAD HIGH BACKLASH DUE TO WEAR ON THE ACME SCREWS AND NUTS. THE MACHINE WAS DISASSEMBLED AT THE PLANT AND THE COMPONENTS SHIPPED TO ROGER'S. THE SCREWS WERE RE CUT IN A THREAD MILLING MACHINE AND NEW NUTS WERE MADE OUT OF BRONZE AND ALL OF THE SURFACES RE-SCRAPED. ROGER'S RE-ASSEMBLED THE MACHINE IN THE CUSTOMERS PLANT AND RE LEVELED AND ALIGNED THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR 19 DAYS TOTAL. ( CLICK PHOTO TO SEE THE ENTIRE PROJECT )
	PROJECT: A HIGH PRECISION MANUFACTURER OF LIVE CENTERS FOR LATHES AND GRINDERS HAD PURCHASED A THREE AXIS GRINDER BUILD FOR THE APPLICATION. THE MACHINE EXHIBITED PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING AND COULD NOT PERFORM TO THE HIGH STANDARDS OF THE CUSTOMER. OUR TASK WAS TO DESIGN A NEW MACHINE CONCEPT AND USE AS MUCH OF THE OLD MACHINE AS POSSIBLE. THE CONCEPT IS A TWO AXIS MACHINE WHERE THE HEADSTOCK IS HYDRAULIC AND CLAMPS THE PART AUTOMATICALLY AND THE PART IS MOVED TO TWO STATIONARY GRINDING SPINDLES. THIS CONCEPT ALLOWS FOR PERFECT ALIGNMENT WITH ZERO RUN OUT OF THE PART AND ALLOWED US TO MANUFACTURE A PART TO WITHIN LESS THAN .0001 TOTAL TOLERANCE. ( CLICK PHOTO TO SEE THE ENTIRE PROJECT )
